Growth patterns for wild-type (LUS) and lumefantrine-exposed (LUR) Plasmodium berghei ANKA parasites between D 4 and D 7 post-infection (pi) in the absence of drug. The parasitaemias were assessed at days 4 and 7 pi in the course of serial passaging of the respective parasite lines in mice for up to 22 serial passages in the absence of drug. The LUR mean parasitaemia at D4 pi was slightly higher than that of LUS, though there was no significant difference in percentage parasitaemia by D7 pi.
